is there a way to crop all the clips on my time line from 4:3 to 16:9 to save doing them all individually?

thanks

Yes there is.

Do one. Then right click on clip and copy. Deselect it, then select all clips you want to crop. Then right click and select "paste event attributes". Done. This method will also copy other things, like CC, effects, etc, so do the cropping thing first.

thanks jeff that saved me a lot of work :-)

You are welcome!
